Magic Burnout

Causes

Burnout happens when one tries to use more magic than they can normally cast. Technically one can cast infinitely, but will die form burnout.

Symptoms

One can simply just feel when they are running out of magic, but the most obvious symptom other than that is intense pain in various areas through the body as the magic energies destroy parts of the user to sustain itself.
The specific body part that magic burnout seems to disintegrate on use seems to be random but may be tied to specific individuals and the spell they cast. Casing fire might cause them to become hot or even catch fire. However, this is seen as a mere side effect, as they will still disintegrate and eventually die regardless of if they can burn. As burnout happens all through the body, all parts of the body can feel pain during such a time, but it still seems to depend on the individual. However, burnout has been known to cause the magic caster's focus to waver heavily, sopping them from casting their spell and allow the body to repair itself, as long as they dont cast again for several weeks or months.

Treatment

The easiest and most obvious way is to stop casting magic and let your mana refill. The effected person's body will naturally regenerate itself over time assuming the brunout did not get too bad.
